A Disciple Of Jesus Christ

And now I bid farewell unto the Gentiles,
yea, and also unto my brethren whom I love,
until we shall meet before the judgment-seat of Christ,
where all men shall know that
my garments are not spotted with your blood.

And then shall ye know that I have seen Jesus,
and that he hath talked with me face to face,
and that he told me in plain humility,
even as a man telleth another in mine own language,
concerning these things.
(Ether 12:38-39)

First, Faith In Christ

And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles
until after their faith;
wherefore they first believed in the Son of God.

And there were many whose faith
was so exceedingly strong, even before Christ came,
who could not be kept from within the veil,
but truly saw with their eyes the things
which they had beheld with an eye of faith,
and they were glad.

And it is by faith that my fathers have obtained
the promise that these things should come
unto their brethren through the Gentiles;
therefore the Lord hath commanded me,
yea, even Jesus Christ.
(Ether 12:18-19 & 22)

Have Faith In Jesus Christ

It was by faith that
Christ showed himself unto our fathers,
after he had risen from the dead;
and he showed not himself unto them
until after they had faith in him;
wherefore, it must needs be
that some had faith in him,
for he showed himself not unto the world.

But because of the faith of men
he has shown himself unto the world,
and glorified the name of the Father,
and prepared a way that thereby
others might be partakers of the heavenly gift,
that they might hope for those things
which they have not seen.

Wherefore, ye may also have hope,
and be partakers of the gift,
if ye will but have faith.
(Ether 12:7-9)

Repent Through Christ

If it so be that they repent
and come unto the Father
in the name of Jesus,
they shall be received
into the kingdom of God.
(Ether 5:5)

Jesus Christ Speaks

And he that will contend
against the word of the Lord,
let him be accursed;
and he that shall deny these things,
let him be accursed;
for unto them will I show no greater things,
saith Jesus Christ; for I am he who speaketh.

And at my command
the heavens are opened and are shut;
and at my word the earth shall shake;
and at my command the inhabitants thereof
shall pass away, even so as by fire.

And he that believeth not my words
believeth not my disciples;
and if it so be that I do not speak, judge ye;
for ye shall know that
it is I that speaketh, at the last day.

But he that believeth these things which I have spoken,
him will I visit with the manifestations of my Spirit,
and he shall know and bear record.

For because of my Spirit he shall know
that these things are true;
for it persuadeth men to do good.

And whatsoever thing
persuadeth men to do good is of me;
for good cometh of none save it be of me.

I am the same that leadeth men to all good;
he that will not believe my words
will not believe me—that I am;
and he that will not believe me
will not believe the Father who sent me.

For behold, I am the Father,
I am the light, and the life,
and the truth of the world.

Come unto me, O ye Gentiles,
and I will show unto you the greater things,
the knowledge which is hid up because of unbelief.

Come unto me, O ye house of Israel,
and it shall be made manifest unto you
how great things the Father hath laid up for you,
from the foundation of the world;
and it hath not come unto you, because of unbelief.

Behold, when ye shall rend that veil of unbelief
which doth cause you to remain
in your awful state of wickedness,
and hardness of heart, and blindness of mind,
then shall the great and marvelous things
which have been hid up
from the foundation of the world from you—
yea, when ye shall call upon the Father in my name,
with a broken heart and a contrite spirit,
then shall ye know that the Father hath remembered
the covenant which he made unto your fathers,
O house of Israel.

Therefore, repent all ye ends of the earth,
and come unto me, and believe in my gospel,
and be baptized in my name;
for he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned;
and signs shall follow them that believe in my name.

And blessed is he that is found faithful
unto my name at the last day,
for he shall be lifted up to dwell in the kingdom
prepared for him from the foundation of the world.

And behold it is I that hath spoken it.
Amen.
(Ether 4:8-15 & 18-19)

Revelation In Christ

And in that day that they shall
exercise faith in me, saith the Lord,
that they may become sanctified in me,
then will I manifest unto them
even the unfolding all my revelations,
saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
the Father of the heavens and of the earth,
and all things that in them are.
(Ether 4:7)

Another Witness Of Christ

And the Lord commanded
the brother of Jared
to go down out of the mount
from the presence of the Lord,
and write the things which he had seen;
and they were forbidden to come
unto the children of men until
after that he should be
lifted up upon the cross;
that they should not
come unto the world until
after Christ should
show himself unto his people.

And after Christ truly had
showed himself unto his people
he commanded that
they should be made manifest.
(Ether 4:1-2)
